  • Title: Persistent urinary retention after tension-free vaginal tape: a new surgical solution.
    Author: Zubke W, Becker S, Krämer B, Wallwiener D.
    Journal: Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol; 2004 Jul 15; 115(1):95-8. PubMed ID: 15223173.
    Abstract:
    The most common post-operative problems seen with the tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) are voiding difficulties. A small subset of patients develops persistent urinary retention, often associated with vaginal pain and dyspareunia. We describe a surgical solution to these complications that involves cutting of the prolene sling just below the urethra and individualised prologation with an additional piece of prolene-mesh.
